If you're new Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh, you don't just visit the monuments on a trip to Washington, D.C. No: You head straight for the hallowed halls in which our nation's playmakers reside. You head for the Supreme Court.
Harbaugh sat down with The Wall Street Journal for an interview, and described an April trip to D.C. during which he managed to meet five of the justices. The former San Francisco 49ers coach was classically succinct with his impressions of most of the judges: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is a "very dynamic speaker," he said, and Chief Justice John Roberts invited Harbaugh into his office, where the judge showed off a Declaration of Independence written in stone ("Very memorable," Harbaugh enthused).
